Dylan Carden has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Stitch Fix’s current market position. The company has shown signs of recovery, with management actively working on enhancing product offerings and customer experience, supported by strategic advertising investments. However, there remains uncertainty regarding the company’s outlook, especially with management’s guidance indicating a potential decline in active customers in the upcoming fiscal fourth quarter, which could limit stock performance.
Despite achieving a modest year-over-year revenue growth ahead of schedule, Stitch Fix faces challenges such as declining gross margins due to new customer acquisition strategies. While spending per active customer is expected to drive growth, seasonal declines in active customers and potential tariff risks pose concerns. Additionally, management’s cautious approach towards future growth and the current valuation of shares at 7.8 times the free cash flow estimate for 2026 suggest a balanced view, leading to the Hold rating.

In another report released on June 4, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $6.00 price target.
